Askmewhats Version: "Grayish Without Gray" Look

Hello all!

I've finally managed to play with my eyes, I've been super busy the past few days, meeting friends, buying gifts, doing chores..... It's time for me to relax!!! And relax time means playing with make-up! I love creating new looks, but the hate part? Make-up removing! LOL

Here's a look I came out with. I didn't use any gray but I like how it came out to be "silvery gray". -- ON PHOTOS!!! (I guess it's because of the flash, my Laura Mercier Blue shadow has specks of silver.

Oh yeah, people are wondering what's the right spelling for the Color Gray/Grey. I've researched and Gray is American spelling, and Grey is British. And I've read that the original spelling of Grey is Grey and it evolved to Gray

Here's my final look

Here's how it looks like close upEyes openGosh, my lashes are non-existent!

Interested to know what products I've used?Keep scrolling....

1. Apply Laura Mercier Blue Sky Eye Quad Aqua color with an eyeshadow brush using a light patting motion. Using a pencil liner, apply the same e/s below the lashline.

2. Using a blending brush, lightly sweet through any matte brown color (I've used L'oreal Hip in Foxy) on the crease area.

3. Using a smaller crease brush, apply the darkest color from the Laura Mercier Blue Sky Quad on the outer V. Blend blend blend with a larger blending brush. Re-apply if needed.

4. Highlight the browbone area and inner corner of the eye with the white shimmer e/s from K anebo PK-2

And will I ever end this post without smiling to YOU?Have a great day!!!Darn, I look so tired! :(

I will be answering a couple of reader's query on my next post!Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments and questions!I like it when we are sharing what we know!And you know what?I'm getting to know more of my readers, and I'm starting to gain more and more friends!Blogging really makes me happy!

speaking of spelling GRAY! DH and I had an arguement when we first met. Well, he is BRITISH english educated and I am AMERICAN english educated... you know wthere the story goes then...

anyway, i love gray with blue or purple or black. whatever so long as it's hot and smokey!

and you look smokey!

btw, I thought you linked strange post to my blogs the other day and I was not happy about it. I was "angry" with you for something you didn't do. anyway, it was the blogspot doing it. now I removed the "create a link" function and it no longer automatically links other unrelated posts to my site.

My art tutor used to tell me to mix blue and brown to get a more natural grey, rather than mixing black and white. Didn't know that it applies in makeup too. Haha.I guess painting your face is pretty much the same as painting a canvas then huh? :D
